Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

In front, three sides were deep abysses.

A massive white bone structure, a thousand feet long resembling a dragon, coiled above the mountain peak, exuding an awe-inspiring grandeur.

Upon closer inspection, this skeleton emitted an aura of ancient primordial desolation, along with an endless chill of killing intent.

Like a silent giant beast coiled there, it made one's heart pound.

Could this be a flood dragon's skeleton?!

Wang Teng's heart stirred, and his eyes rippled with a black wave...

[Character: Skeletons of the Eight Celestial Dragons]

[Rank: Profound Tier]

[Origin: A thousand years ago, this dragon was slain here, used for a sealing sacrificial ritual!]

[Tip: This is a Buddha Country dragon, dragons are hybrid Dragon Race, with strength varying from Profound Tier to Earth Tier.]

Hiss~!

Wang Teng took a deep breath.

It seems there is an immense secret in this world!

To use the Dragon Race for a ritual to seal and worship, what a grand gesture.

Moreover, this dragon skeleton, just at Profound Tier, extends over a thousand feet.

Even after a thousand years in death, it remains imposing.

Were it alive, it would be even more terrifying.

Bear in mind, this is the weakest of the Profound Tier dragons.

And dragons are hybrid Dragon Race, far inferior to a True Dragon.

From this, one can see the power of the Dragon Race, and the figures using the Dragon Race for rituals are even more frightful.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng took another deep breath and continued to observe.

He discovered the dragon skeleton was severed into several pieces, with the head and neck bones also disconnected.

One could tell how earth-shaking the sealing war was back then, the dragon blood staining the yellow soil red.

Belonging to the Buddha Country, this dragon carried the blood of Buddha, thus giving birth to divine objects like the Buddha's Karmic Fruit!

Now, a thousand years later, the soil on the mountain peak still emits a bloody aura.

Around the summit, nearly a hundred Buddha Fruit Trees grow.

Seeing those Buddha Fruits, Wang Teng's heart burned with desire.

If he could obtain these Buddha Fruits, his bloodline concentration would skyrocket, and his strength would greatly surge!

However, he didn't immediately go to pluck the Buddha Fruits.

Because, in front of the dragon skeleton, there was a giant altar, a hundred feet in diameter, ten feet high.

On the altar stood four heavenly pillars, exuding an ancient, mysterious aura.

This must be the Sealing Altar!

Surrounding the altar, more than fifty soldier terracotta warriors knelt densely.

Those were the Celestial Candle Peak Guards.

To pick the Buddha Fruits, he would have to pass the Sealing Altar, which would alert these hundreds of Celestial Candle Peak Guards.

Nonetheless, Wang Teng did not regard these guards.

His gaze fell on the center of the Sealing Altar.

Sitting there was a man in a black robe.

Since Wang Teng entered, the man remained cross-legged, head lowered, eyes closed.

Only at this moment did he seem to sense Wang Teng's gaze, slowly lifted his head, and opened his eyes, revealing a pair of golden pupils.

Simultaneously, Wang Teng's eyes rippled with a touch of black waves...

[Character: Celestial Candle Peak Guardian.]

[Level: Yellow Tier Peak.]

[Martial Arts (Skills): ???.]

[Talent: B-level White Emperor's Golden Slash (Gold Talent), B-level Green Emperor Wood Emperor (Wood Talent), D-level Light Manipulation]

[Comprehensive Combat Power: 10580.]

[Drop Rate: 25%]

[State: Forbidden Land Guardian, until death ceases.]

[Origin: From the Middle Thousand World, once descended upon this world, intending to devour the world's will, died in the sealing war, resurrected as the Celestial Candle Peak Guardian!]

[Tip: Died in this world, hence loathes all beings of this world.]

Hmm?!

This guy actually has two talents, two B-level and one D-level.

Combined, these three talent abilities probably make him stronger than someone with A-level talent.

However, Wang Teng was most interested in his mastery of the B-level Wood Talent—Green Emperor Wood Emperor.

If he could extract the Celestial Candle Peak Guardian's Wood Talent, he could potentially merge to form an A-level Talent, the Five Elements Law!

With this thought, Wang Teng's eyes shone.

At that moment, the Celestial Candle Peak Guardian had also finished assessing Wang Teng.

"Hehe~! A mere Level 16 human of the Small Thousand World!"

The Celestial Candle Peak Guardian spoke indifferently, his tone full of disdain.

"Who are you?" Wang Teng asked knowingly.

The Celestial Candle Peak Guardian laughed coldly: "You are not qualified to know! All you of this Small Thousand World should perish!"

He sensed the lingering world aura on Wang Teng.

This was the thing he detested most.

Thus, upon seeing Wang Teng, a deep-rooted aversion and disdain brewed within him.

People tend to belittle and dismiss what they dislike.

The Celestial Candle Peak Guardian was of such a mindset.

From start to end, he never took Wang Teng seriously.

After all, this world had been declining since a thousand years ago.

Before Wang Teng could speak, the Guardian waved his hand.

"Kill this human for me!"

With that, an anomaly erupted around the Sealing Altar.

"Crack~!" "Crack~!" "Crack~!"

Instantly, the surfaces of over fifty soldier terracotta warriors automatically cracked, revealing countless fine lines.

Wang Teng's eyes narrowed, his fists instinctively clenched a bit tighter.

Seeing this, the Celestial Candle Peak Guardian couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

This human was indeed scared!

After all, for a Level 16 human to reach here was quite remarkable.

But this was as far as it would go.
